Abstract excerpt
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains isolated from healthy cattle (O111:NM, seven strains; O111:H8, three strains) in Brazil were studied and compared to previously characterized human strains in regard to their phenotypic and genotypic characteristics to evaluate their pathogeni...
